Arts and Culture

Beauty, brains and exceedingly good taste: the Lake District, Cumbria is the full package. Here we celebrate a living culture that incorporates the past but is rooted firmly in the present. Our history - ancient and more recent - is alive and well in the very Cumbrian landscape, but you can interpret it in our impressive collection of museums that tell Cumbria’s story - from prehistory right through to the modern age.  

There’s an impressive list of radical thinkers and artistic pioneers who found inspiration here – William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, JMW Turner, John Ruskin, Kurt Schwitters, Josefina de Vasconcellos and Andy Goldsworthy. You can walk in their footsteps, visit their homes and explore the rich creative life built on their exceptional heritage.

You can see and feel it within a few short miles: as well as museums and heritage centres there are scores of galleries, exhibitions and artists’ studios; there’s artworks in the mountains and forests; a packed, year-round programme of live theatre performances, independent cinemas and festivals celebrating all manner of creative endeavours, from music to local craft. And yes, we have lots of traditional performance venues, but there’s a particular thrill in attending a show on an outdoor stage in a spectacular setting.

  4. Keswick Alhambra Cinema
    Independent Cinema
    If you are a film buff the Lake District, Cumbria is home to a delightful cluster of independent cinemas showing everything from Hollywood blockbusters to thought-provoking arthouse releases.
  5. Tullie House
    Galleries & Exhibitions
    In Cumbria you’ll find a range of art galleries and exhibition spaces that host a constantly changing menu of works in virtually every medium. It’s nice to see art hanging on a brightly lit wall, or to see beautifully made craftwork on a plinth, but in Cumbria we also invite you to explore the studios and workshops where that work was made, and even to meet the artist that made it.
  6. Kendal Museum
    Museums
    Cumbria’s rich history is ever-present in every village and town, on every fell and deep in every valley, but if you need a little interpretation, then head for one of the county’s many museums.
  7. Kendal - Festival Town
    Festivals
    Whatever the time of year, Cumbria is celebrating something. From music to film and food to beer, Cumbria and the Lake District is home to a wide selection of fantastic festivals. Take a look at our list and find what celebration works for you.
  8. TV & Films
    TV & Film Locations in the Lake District, Cumbria
    Fabulous scenery looks good on camera, and in Cumbria we have plenty of it to go around. The Lake District has been a natural set for a host of films, including Miss Potter (2006), starring Renee Zellweger in the title role. Locations included Loughrigg and Grasmere as well as Yew Tree Farm in Coniston, which was conveniently owned by Potter herself.
